The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

The human ability to understand speech is underpinned by a hierarchical auditory system
whose successive stages process increasingly complex attributes of the acoustic input. It …

Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

During online speech processing, our brain tracks the acoustic fluctuations in speech at
different timescales. Previous research has focused on generic timescales (for example …

Research on speech processing is often focused on a phenomenon termed “entrainment”,
whereby the cortex shadows rhythmic acoustic information with oscillatory activity …

Speech is crucial for communication in everyday life. Speech-brain entrainment, the
alignment of neural activity to the slow temporal fluctuations (envelope) of acoustic speech …

Most humans have a near-automatic inclination to tap, clap, or move to the beat of music.
The capacity to extract a periodic beat from a complex musical segment is remarkable, as it …

Due to their periodic nature, neural oscillations might represent an optimal" tool" for the
processing of rhythmic stimulus input [1–3]. Indeed, the alignment of neural oscillations to a …

It is undisputed that presenting a rhythmic stimulus leads to a measurable brain response
that follows the rhythmic structure of this stimulus. What is still debated, however, is the …
